What did that mean?
Wendy frowned. Even though it was a message, he wrote in a tone of command.
She put the phone back into her pocket. The supervisor next to her glanced at her and said, "Wendy, we ended early today. Do you want to go out for a walk tonight?"
"Sorry, I'm afraid not. I have something else to do. "Wendy shook her head. Thinking of the text message from Charlie, she added, "My friend is waiting for me. We plan to eat hot pot together tonight."
She emphasized the last sentence, and it was also the answer to Charlie's invitation.
The elevator soon arrived, and four of them walked out.
Not long after Wendy returned to the room, someone knocked on the door. She opened it and Daniel with a mushroom-shaped haircut rushed in. Then he took her hand and dragged her to the next door, "Wendy, come with me!"
After entering the next door, she was so surprised.
The room was elaborately decorated to create a warm atmosphere. The room was filled with balloons. There was a " Happy Birthday" made of balloons on the wall. A steaming hot pot was placed on the table. Felix was in a casual suit. He greeted her with a smile, "I planned to eat in the restaurant, but I think the atmosphere in the room is better!"
"It's great." Wendy nodded. She was really touched, "Did you make all these on your own?"
"Yes, I have blown up a few balloons! Wendy, do you like it?" The little boy asked excitedly.
Wendy touched his head and answered, "I like it very much, thank you!"
"You're welcome!" The little boy put on a shy look.
Felix led her to the table, pulled out the chair, and let her sit down. He picked up his son and put him on the chair next to her. Then, he sat down.
The hot pot was a takeaway from a restaurant. Each one had a small pot, which was using solidified alcohol to heat. The soup in the pot was boiling, and various ingredients were placed on the table. The good smell of beef stimulated their appetites.
When they were eating, Felix took out an exquisitely-wrapped box from behind, "Wendy, happy birthday."
"Thanks. What is this?" Wendy took it over.
"Open it and you'll know." Felix put on a bigger smile.
Wendy opened it and found a brand new Swiss knife inside.
Felix helped her tear off the outer package and said with a smile, "You told me that the previous knife was broken, so I give you a new one."
"Felix, thank you..." Wendy touched the handle of the knife.
This knife looked almost the same as her previous one, but the blade was new. Both of them were given by Felix, and this one could completely replace that one. However, when she was stroking the knife handle, she didn't get too much happiness.
The number of meal boxes on the table was gradually decreasing, and they almost ate all ingredients.
Felix looked at his son with a frown and reminded him, "Daniel, eat less. It's almost eight o'clock now. You can't digest them if you eat too much!"
"Uh-huh... I'm a growing boy!" The little boy put a piece of meat into his mouth and contradicted him.
Hearing that, Wendy looked at the electronic watch next to her. Indeed, it would be eight o'clock in five minutes.
She thought of the text message from Charlie in the evening. She hesitated for a few seconds and picked up her phone, "I'll make a call."
Felix nodded while stopping his son from eating more meat.
Wendy walked away and called Charlie, but it didn't get through. A female voice reminded her, "Sorry, the subscriber you dialed can't be connected or turned off..."
Wendy pursed her lips and walked back. Felix asked, "Wendy, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Wendy shook her head.
"Yeah!" Farr nodded.
Wendy frowned slightly and said in a tentative tone, "... hasn't he come back yet?"
"Not yet." Farr shook his head.
"Oh..." Wendy clenched her fingers. He hadn't come back yet?
The little boy found that Wendy did not follow up and ran over to hold her hand, "Wendy, what are you doing? The elevator is coming!"
Wendy was dragged to the elevator by him. The elevator went up slowly.
Maybe because of the rain, there were a lot of people on the top floor, all of whom were guests who lived in the hotel.
There were some large floor- to- ceiling windows installed on the top floor. People could see the whole city. However, it was raining heavily outside, which made lots of noises. The water was flowing down the glasses, and they couldn't see anything. It rained suddenly and heavily, and it seemed that the rain would not stop within a short time.
Wendy lowered her head and looked at the text message on her phone, "I'll be waiting for you at 8 o'clock in the North Mountain Park tonight."
She looked at the time again.
It was already past nine o'clock...
The entrance of the sky garden was in the front, and there was a vending machine next to it. The little boy wanted to buy a bottle of juice. Felix bought two and handed one to her.
Wendy did not take it over. She grasped her phone tightly and said to them, "Felix, I have something urgent to do now. I can't get in there with you!"
"What's the matter? Do you need my help?"
Felix held back following words because she had run away.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
